starts withMales measure 23–23 mm (0.9–0.9 in) and females 27–30 mm (1.1–1.2 in) in snout–vent length. Unusually for the genus Cardioglossa, the third finger in males is not elongated. It is nevertheless sexually dimorphic in that males have spines in the fingers whereas females do not. The tympanum is small and inconspicuous, another unusual character within Cardioglossa. Furthermore, the characteristic dorsal markings and the white line running under the tympanum are absent. Despite these unusual morphological characters, genetic data nest C. oreas well within the genus Cardioglossa.
